My Review

THE READY RESOURCE FOR RELIEF SOCIETY is a convenient and inspiring addition for those teaching Relief Society out of the Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Gordon B. Hinckley in 2017. It has compiled several lesson helps for each specific lesson in the following areas: music, lesson summary, quotes, art, object lessons, additional articles, a challenge to the class, doctrinal mastery passages, correlating sections from Preach My Gospel, handouts, and an area for notes. A helpful and simple way to enhance teachers' lessons.

I especially loved how well organized the book was and that the lessons were easily correlated with Preach My Gospel and scripture masteries. I also appreciated the handouts and object lessons as those can be time consuming and more difficult to come up with on your own. I liked the quotes, but didn't know if they were necessary with the additional articles and with the fact that the actual lessons provide plenty of quotes to focus on. 

In the end, was it what I wished for? Overall, a very helpful resource for teachers and one I would definitely use. The time it can save and the ideas it can give for enhancing lessons is definitely worth owning a copy.

This is the second of these that I've read and reviewed by this author and I found both to be quite helpful. Do you ever use additional resources when you teach (secular and/or religious)?
